Life doesn't get more rough than this. A small town boy takes on the corrupt establishment, receives global acclaim only to be politically ostracized by The Academy for a well deserved Oscar. It is astounding that a Cannes Film Festival and People's Choice Award winning film is passed over for Best Film at the Oscars. What is the matter at 'The Academy?' Did you think it might win and Bush/FCC would be making it bad for you?
They might.
But, so what.
You have us then.
Half a nation and the world ain't such a bad thing to have.
Well.
I think the majority that voted Fahrenheit 9/11 for People's Choice should prove exactly what we think of the Oscars and boycott it and the films it nominated and Disney. That is not being a 'sore' loser that is being INSULTED. On behalf of the best film maker in the business I invite the rest of the world to join me!
